San Antonio

And Morning Ozzy!

 

OK, Putz. Got my new solar stuff up to see how it looks tonight. And I tackled my hardware organizers from last year.
These were the CHEAPEAST parts cabinets in the world, from Harbor Freight. And I did have to cobble some doors on, and replace one said door - to keep stuff from falling out when I closed the door. I even angled the bins, but stuff still slid out without doors. These were pretty soft plastic, I got what I paid for - not complaining about that part. BUT, the weight of my hardware junk won out, and the backs were pulling apart. So, I got (4) Stanley harder plastic organizers on Tuesday in Austin. So...

Last year's good work...



Pulling apart!




So, here are the replacements up in place



But LOOK! There is 8" of EMPTY space to the right! Do you think you can find an 8" wide cabinet...NO.
BUT, I had these orange bins that I bought to join the other bins, only to find that they had a proprietary mounting. But that mounting bar was 16", and half of that is?



Heck, I will order another set! NO, Amazon is no longer available. BUT, they have the same set with some 8" bins extra - so that will be here Saturday!

Now, this highly technical tape measure and imagination stuff - can I still close the door? Heck yeah! A full 1/4" or so of clearance!




So, all good, right? Oh, heck no. I had 200 drawers, now I have 120. I put some drip irrigation stuff in a plastic storage case, so that's together. So, some stuff obviously has reached the end of its life here. And some drawers will be combined - but the new Stanley bins did not come with dividers. So, some arrive Monday, and then I can sort the stuff - again.

So, there you go. You can putz around all you want, and you will get stuff done - but will you EVER finish?
Hope this gives you a laugh!

 

Never a dull day there with you Kurt

And I much have rather done something else other than clean up the truck after my son threw up in it......that was fun

Good Morning SA! So todays deal is go to Lowe's for a dozen bags of mulch, and a couple other quick errands. And try to stay on the road in this wind!

 

Morning crew

 

After about 3 large cups of coffee, I feel great!!!

 

You're right about the wind. Today is a little crazy and I felt my little first gen shaking side to side on the 35 on my way to work

 

My daughter did that today. Something must be going around….

 

Buenos días señores! Time for more overtime!

Morning Logan - filling the bed with bags of mulch keeps them on the road!

Morgens Linwood - du bist acht zum?

Good Morning SA! Time to unload and spread some of that mulch around in this chilly sunshine. And, happy to say, the new solar lights are pretty good now that they have close to full charge. I'd been buying those cheap spots on stakes at WM, and clamp them to the fence, and it works great. But last year, the "quality" just went to crap. 100% of last years replacements went dead before even a year. So, on to something else. Maybe I will get a few more up today.

 

Yeah, I had some kind of stomach bug the week before and then my son got it. Wife had it yesterday and getting over it today. Hope she feels better bud
